WOW it took me _forever_ to figure out exactlly what you meant...
Here is the manifest section needed for anyone needing help here.
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/
app_name">
<activity android:taskAffinity="org.appname.act1"
android:label="@string/act1_label
android:name=".act1"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:taskAffinity="org.appname.act2"
android:name=".act2"
android:label="@string/act2_label"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
